142 sats \ 0 replies \ @endothermicdev 23 Mar \ on: The Trump administration is descending into authoritarianism news
As a US citizen, it was honestly a relief to have the attacks against the bitcoin ecosystem and self custody abate with the change of the administration. As a liberal leaning voter, I also didn't mind the DNC getting their asses handed to them after endless self-goals and a total disdain for the general voting public. However, all that is a small consolation if the judiciary gets stripped of its independence and the limits on power that allowed the US to flourish are systemically removed. This president and administration are way too cozy with authoritarians and their methods for my liking. I really don't care about pumping my bags - bitcoin was going to survive just fine regardless. I'm less confident about the outcome for democracy in the US.
